What Does ‘MOOC’ Mean Anymore? The Latest from Class Central - Henry Kronk, e-Learning Inside

The French political party En Marche put out a MOOC to foster political engagement at the community level. Dublin City University launched a MOOC to reconnect the descendants of the Irish Diaspora. Meanwhile, Udacity is becoming more of a for-profit vocational trainer than a MOOC provider. The number of price points are increasing at several other providers. And still, edX stays more or less true to MOOC form. https://news.elearninginside.com/new-mooc-report/
